Furthermore, JEM secured a contract from Siemens to supply 36 auxiliary batteries, each with a capacity of 72.8 kWh for 9 Vande Bharat Trainsets. This 72.8 kWh LFP battery pack has also received RDSO approval, further validating its performance and safety.

The 72.8 kWh LFP battery pack has been technically qualified by Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) for use in Vande Bharat Trainsets. This qualification by a major railway sector player like BHEL demonstrates the robustness and technical excellence of Jupiter’s battery solutions.

Vivek Lohia, MD, Jupiter Wagons, said, "These accomplishments underscore our steadfast dedication to innovation and excellence in railway technology. The RDSO certification, the confidence shown by Siemens, and the technical qualification by BHEL are clear indicators of the superior quality and dependability of our LFP battery solutions. Given the significant demand from Indian Railways and the shift from conventional energy sources towards sustainable and energy efficient solutions, we believe this business can emerge as a significant contributor to overall revenues over a medium to long-term horizon.”
